Unlocked London

9 May 2017 by Alice Cullen

According to the government, 65% of large businesses reported a cyber-attack in the past year. Around 50% of all cyber-attacks are targeted towards small businesses, and recent research revealed that a typical FTSE 100 firm is worse off by an average of £120m after a breach. So what do we do about it?

Following the resounding success of Unlocked Manchester last month, we’re holding our next cyber security conference of the series in London, to help you, your business and your clients stay safe online.

To put it simply, we all rely on internet access and emails in both our personal and professional lives and that makes us vulnerable. Teaming up with industry-leading experts, we’re bringing real-time demonstrations and advice from the experts to help you to combat the growing threat of cyber security to Unlocked London at the city’s landmark, The Shard.

At the last event, cyber expert Graham Cluley revealed that when he began working in cyber security in the 1990s there would be 200 samples of viruses and malware every month. Now there are 400,000 new samples being analysed every day – that’s one every 0.4 seconds, literally the blink of an eye!

Unlocked London comes to the capital as the most influential security event at London Tech Week. We’re delving into business’s top security fears and tackling the burning issues in cybersecurity – from the rise in cyber-terrorism and ransomware, to the benefits of ethical hacking and the future of AI and the IoT.

Unlocked London begins at 12.30pm on Wednesday 14th June 2017 at The Shard, London.
